NEULOG FORCE PLATE SENSOR GUIDE
Technical background:
The philosophy behind NeuLog’s plug and play technology is based on each sensor’s
ability to store its own data due to an internal flash memory chip and micro-controller
in each plastic NeuLog body. This technology allows the sensor to collect and then
store the digital data in the correct scientific units (
o
C,
o
F, Lux, %, ppm, for example).
The sensor is pre-calibrated at the factory. The built-in software in the logger can be
upgraded for free at any time using the provided firmware update.
When a weight is applied to the force pla
te, because it doesn’t move, you can assume
the normal force pushing up from the ground is equal to the force which is being
applied to it. This is the basis for how the force plate sensor accurately and quickly
measures applied forces. Several strain ga
uges inside of the force plate’s body take
readings and are compared to one another to give a total force measurement.
Maintenance and storage:
Never submerge the NeuLog plastic body in any liquid.
Do not allow liquid into either the sensor’s or the force plate’s body.
After use, gently wipe away any foreign material from the force plate and
sensor.
Store in a box at room temperature out of direct sunlight.
Avoid storing the force plate with direct weight on it.
Warranty:
We promise to deliver our sensor free of defects in materials and workmanship for a
period of 3 years from the date of purchase. Our warranty does not cover damage of
the product caused by improper use, abuse, or incorrect storage. Sensors with a shelf
life such as ion selective proves have a warranty of 1 year. Should you need to act
